Rest made me cry the first time I heard it, knowing what it's about
Aurora being Taylor's favourite makes it hit even harder
My Hero should be number one, that song means so much
Monkey Wrench deserves more love
The Pretender riff is perfect
saw them at Wembley, Everlong to close the night, chills
Best of You live is pure catharsis
no Walking After You? underrated gem
Learn to Fly video is still hilarious
Everlong first, obviously. The acoustic version is even better
Times Like These in its acoustic version is beautiful
